Do all of these "elevated pools" require flying mounts? Just to clarify...

Yes, they all require flying mounts.

I'm not sure if this is a well known fact since I just started doing the whole fishing thing two weeks ago, but being a priest with levitate makes fishing up in Blackwind lake a LOT easier when you can just kill one or two elementals and chill floating above the water while fishing. ^-^; Just a lil annoying to redo the spell every two minutes. I farmed 18 crawdads in 45 minutes.

I haven't seen any Highland Mixed Schools since patch 2.1. Did they change something that I was not aware of?

I rarely get a 'get-away' with 512 skill - 375 skill, an arcanite fishing pole, glove enchant, and a +100 lure.

I can sell these for 8g for 5, though I am on a rather low-pop server. I usually see them sell out around 8PM server time - when most guilds start to raid

If you plan on farming these, I suggest you get an engineer to make a few hundred http://www.wowhead.com/?item=6533 for you; they run out faster than you'd think since they only last 5 minutes.

Having read all your great tips and the great guide at capsu.org, thought I would share my experiences having caught 32 in under an hour this morning. It took me a bit to grasp the whole thing, hopefully there are some tidbits in here that helps someone else where I had struggled. I usually look for off hour times, like early A.M to avoid competition.

Lake Jorune - At the letters "ebrea" of StoneBreaker Hold. I consistently find 3 pools here, in order. Excellent spot, wish there were more then 3 pools. Fly around Stonebreaker Hold on your way to this lake because a flying elite might knock you off your mount if you don't.

Lake Ere'Noru - Took me a bit to find it, posts said above or north of Allerian Stronghold, it is actually south at the letters "old" in Allerian Stronghold. Been past here 10 or more times and never found a single pool. Fly over it between fishing at Lake Journe and Blackwind Lake to look for pools, but don't be suprised if you rarely see any here. I flew above this and idled while writing this, and even waited 20 minutes extra before posting this, and still no pool spawns.

Blackwind Lake - In Skettis area, easiest and largest to find. I have found 9 of the 10 locations so far, and 5 of those were this morning, so don't be suprised if it takes quite a few tries before you find all 10. Because of the number of people in the area, I sometimes only find 1-2 pools. Bosses are not the problem people discuss, only 2-3 spots required you to kill a simple level 70-71 and 1 place has the 72 elite walk by occasionally. Wait for him to walk by, drop and fish. Since most pools are gone afer a few successful casts, you should be gone before he comes back. Easily the best area when you get lucky and find a bunch of pools.

If I go back and refish pools I already tried, the "fish got away" is very, very high.

A little trick to fishing these up even if your base fishing skill is not yet maxed. You only need about 395 total fishing skill to fish from Terokk's Rest (the island in the middle of Blackwind Lake, Skettis). There are 2 or 3 highland mixed school spawns around the island.

I am not sure if its just an oversight on Blizz part, but as long as your location shows as "Terokk's Rest" you can fish with just 275 base fishing skill a +20 pole and +100 lure. You will still see a few "misses" but they are pretty rare if you get your fishing skill to at least 300.

good way to get cooking from 365-375

How hard can it be to farm these? I mean, track fish from weather-beaten journal, flying around - No problems catching them with 375 fishing skill + 35 skill fishing pole and 100+ skill lure - no getaways, I farmed 35 of them within 30 minutes.

Easily fished with 450+ skill :)

Aptly named since crawdads do not appear red, like the icon suggests, unless they've been cooked-- the only other option is that they are really, really furious about being fished up!

Fished today with 378+ skill. About 70% catch rate. 3.1 changes to fishing help a lot, and there was nobody on in the early morning leaving me with 16 pools in ~50 minutes. No Mr Pinchy yet, though, but the cooking skill is great.

Used to make SUSHI! Spicy Crawdad, bought by Innkeeper Birbi at Allerian Stronghold, Terokkar Forest.

While I was trying to get Mr. Pinchy, I caught 400 items in "Highland Mixed Schools" and tracked how much of each I got

Ill be yet another one everybody hates.. Caught Mr. Pinchy on my 5th pool this morning.. Tried 4 pools in Blackwind Lake before moving to Lake Ere'Noru.. 1st pool 3rd cast.. The pool was still active and while I was standing there admiring my catch a lvl 80 Tauren Hunter started fishing it.. I laughed a little inside.. :D

If you go to the area and you cannot find a Highland Mixed School of fish, just throw out a could casts in open water then go look, some should appear. I spent more time wasted just fishing open water, *though they can only be found in the school.*
